Chapter 17 I Never Even Went to Cloudville Chapter 17 I Never Even Went to Cloudville Anna was rushed to the ER , leaving Luke pacing anxiously outside , worry written all over his face . +5 Free Coins Roy hesitated before speaking up , Mr. Bolton , Ive already informed the Sanders . Should we go to the airport now ? If we wait any longer , well miss the flight . Cloudville was in a remote , high altitude town . There was only one flight a day from Nightville to Cloudville . The weather in Cloudville had been bad lately , with frequent flight cancellations , which was why Roy had kindly offered the reminder . Lukes expression darkened , and he snapped angrily , Are you out of your mind ? Chloe is perfectly fine , having the time of her life in Cloudville . Shes not going to die . But Annas life is on the line . How can I leave her right now ? Roy had assumed that when Luke called in the middle of the night , asking for flowers and gifts , he was planning to apologize to me properly . Just last night , he said I was more important than Anna , and now he was already going back on his word . I noticed Roys eyes dim slightly , probably feeling that I deserved better . 1 After all , Roy had witnessed the entire journey from Luke and me being deeply in love to where we were now . Deep down , he probably hoped wed reconcile . He lowered his head , hiding the disappointment in his eyes . Ill go handle the ticket cancellation right away . Just as the Sanders arrived , Anna was wheeled out . The doctor , holding the results , called out , Family of the patient ! Luke hurried forward . Im her family . Hows Anna doing ? The doctor took one look at his worried face before responding . Shes stable now , but how exactly are you taking care of her ? You know she has a heart condition , and yet you still stimulated her on purpose ! If she hadnt received medical treatment in time , she couldve gone into sudden cardiac arrest at any moment ! Stimulated ? The Sanders looked at Luke . Anna came back to the Bolton Residence yesterday . What could have upset her ? Luke was just as puzzled . Mom , dont worry . Ill get to the bottom of this . The important thing is that Anna is okay . In the hospital room , the family gathered around Anna , treating her like a fragile porcelain doll , their faces filled with concern and tenderness . It took me back to a time before I left the Sanders , during the pandemic lockdown , when my brother was stuck at his office . I offered to go and look after him , but once I tested positive , my family quickly vacated the villa , terrified of catching the virus from me . That was when I truly understood that the rift between me and my family , caused by Anna , was one that could never be mended . In their eyes , I was insignificant . Whenever Anna had even the slightest problem , they rushed to her side , which left me feeling a pang of envy from the sidelines . When the regular housekeeper who cared for Anna appeared , Luke , his face dark with frustration , demanded , How did Anna get upset again ? It seems she was upset while looking at her phone . I glanced at it and saw it was filled with insults directed at her . Insults ? Who did this ? I dont know , the housekeeper replied . Since last night , Ms. Annas phone hasnt stopped ringing . I suspect someone might 1/2 D Chapter 17 I Never Even Went to Cloudville +5 Free Coins have leaked her number . Luke took Annas phone , and swiftly unlocked it . He checked the call history and found a night full of harassing calls from various IP addresses across the country . There were also countless messages pouring in , filled with vulgar and offensive language . The messages were filled with accusations like seducing other peoples husbands and fleeing from a wedding without shame . As soon as the phone was turned on , it rang again . Luke answered , and a voice that sounded like a middle aged woman came through . You shameless little slt , seducing other peoples husbands . Youll get what you deserve … Given their highborn status , the entire household was shocked by the sheer vulgarity of the insults . Luke didnt say anything and ended the call immediately . He had no intention of arguing with a foul mouthed woman and sullying his own dignity . My poor daughter . How did you end up in such a mess ? Who could have done this ? My mother gazed at the still- unconscious Anna with sorrow . Lukes face darkened as he snapped , Its Chloe . Shes definitely behind this ! My family and husband had already condemned me without even bothering to investigate the matter . As Suningan had instigated countless times in the past few years , I was now cast as the ultimate villain , forever in the wrong . From the bed came a faint voice , Mom , Dad , Ethan . Please dont blame Chloe . It was my mistake to make that call and ruin her wedding . If anyone should be blamed , its me . Anna , pale and tearful , lay in her hospital bed , deeply remorseful . This strategy , no matter how often she used it , never failed to draw even more sympathy from the family . Anna grasped Lukes sleeve . Luke , werent you planning to pick up Chloe today ? Please go now . Im alright . When you get to Cloudville , apologize to her on my behalf . Its all my fault . Once shes back , Ill go abroad and wont ever come near her again . How can you go abroad with your health like this ? Exactly . Dont worry about Chloe . Shes such a petty little brat . She throws a tantrum over the smallest things . You made one urgent call to Luke , and she left without a word . Now shes making a fuss . Its simply outrageous ! Luke changed his mind . I wont go to Cloudville to pick her up . Your grandmas birthday is in a few days . Shell come back on her own . As I watched the snow swirling outside , one thought consumed me . I wont be able to make it to Grandmas birthday . By then , would you even notice that I never even went to Cloudville ? The reality is that I am already dead . Chapter 18 I Dreamt that Chloe Was Dead Chapter 18 I Dreamt that Chloe Was Dead Grandma was the only person in the family who didnt resent me due to Annas drama . Sadly , her health was getting worse , and she had been bedridden for six months . +5 Free Coins She understood my struggles . A week before my wedding , when I went to see her , she softly patted my head and said , Chloe , if you dont want to marry , then dont go through with it . If hes not the right man , marrying him will only cause you sorrow . Back then , my mind was filled with thoughts of exposing the truth at the wedding and getting revenge . I turned down my grandmas advice . Dont worry , Grandma . Ive got everything under control . You need to focus on getting better soon . Chloe , I will hold on until my birthday . I know youve been through so much since Anna returned . Youll always be my beloved child . I have a special gift for you on that day . My grandma owned five percent of the companys shares . When Anna came back , the family suggested giving her those shares as compensation , but my grandma declined . I knew she kept them to make sure I wouldnt end up with anything in the future . Unfortunately , despite all her careful plans , I passed away before she could hand me the shares . Luke quickly managed the harassing calls and messages , and his dislike for me only grew . To look after Anna , he made soup for her himself , carefully cooling it with each spoonful . He was so focused on her that there was no space for me in his thoughts . I realized that if that mysterious man truly wanted to hurt me , this time would be enough for my body to vanish completely . I couldnt help but wonder how they would react when they found out I was dead . Would they feel sorry for how they treated me today ? Luke , worried that Anna might get upset again , stayed by her side that night . He woke up from yet another nightmare in the middle of the night . Luke , did you have a bad dream ? Anna asked . His sudden movement must have been too abrupt , waking the person on the hospital bed . Luke wiped the cold sweat from his brow , his face looking drained . Im … alright , he muttered . Anna walked over to him and asked , What dream frightened you this much ? I dreamt that Chloe was dead . She was losing so much blood , and she kept pleading with me to save her . Anna gently patted his back , saying , Dont worry , Luke . Dreams are often the opposite of real life . That means Chloe is probably happy and healthy right now . Luke rubbed his tired temples . Ive had this same dream for several nights in a row . Maybe youre just too concerned about her . If you cant stop thinking about her , why not bring her back sooner ? That way , I can also stop worrying , Anna suggested . Lukes gaze flickered . Well , then … I hope Chloe will calm down soon and stop being upset with me . I was fortunate this time , but that wont always be the case . After listening to her words , Luke abandoned the thought and gently patted her head , Forget it , let her calm down in Cloudville .
